Nevada has pretty lenient gun laws. For instance, you are able to own a gun without a permit or a license. Firearms may also be openly carried throughout the state in many places. However, there are some areas where you are prohibited from carrying a gun, such as in a federal facility, and you may lose your right to carry if you are convicted of a felony.
Commonly charged gun crimes in Nevada:
Nevada gun laws are codified in the Nevada Revised Statutes under “Dangerous Weapons and Firearms.” The Revised Statutes outline the potential penalties for each crime. If you are charged with any firearm violation or are seeking to restore your gun rights, you need to speak with an attorney today. Our firm can help you understand your rights and get you the outcome you deserve.
Unfortunately, if you are convicted of a felony offense, you will most likely lose your right to possess a firearm. You can reinstate your right to own a gun through a pardon. The pardon is determined by the Nevada Board of Pardons Commissioners and will generally only be considered after a certain number of years have passed since your release from probation, parole, or prison.
It is important to note that individuals charged with battery domestic violence may also lose their right to possess a firearm. They, too, must obtain a pardon in order to restore their gun rights. According to statute, they can submit a request five years after they are released from custody. Knowing your rights before you enter a plea and retaining legal counsel can help ensure that you get the best possible outcome in your case.
Nevada Revised Statute § 202.360 makes it unlawful for certain people to possess a firearm. These people, known as prohibited persons, include convicted felons and individuals convicted of battery domestic violence. It also makes it illegal for a fugitive or person addicted to a controlled substance to own a firearm.
Penalties for a prohibited person possessing a firearm:
While it may seem difficult, there are defenses that may apply if you are a prohibited person arrested for the possession of a firearm. You need to speak to an attorney to determine whether a defense applies in your case.
Another commonly charged offense in Las Vegas is carrying a concealed weapon without a license. Codified under the Nevada Revised Statutes § 202.350, it is unlawful to carry a concealed weapon without a license. A concealed weapon is one that is hidden or obstructed from the ordinary view of another person.
In Nevada, it is generally permissible to carry a firearm, but you may only carry a concealed weapon with a license. Failure to obtain a license for a concealed weapon can result in a felony conviction.
